Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and more specifically to a server module. Background Technology

[0002] Servers are used to compute and store data. Servers typically include multiple functional modules. Some functional modules require cable connections, while others require plugging and unplugging for maintenance. The cables need to be supported and secured to avoid affecting the maintenance of the functional modules.

[0003] In related technologies, cable management racks are installed at the front end of the server to organize cables. These racks have cable trays through which cables pass, overlapping the tray walls. The trays typically have openings for placing cables, but this method often results in insecure cable placement and easy cable detachment. Alternatively, opening and closing mechanisms can be used to control the openings, with cables placed in the trays and then the openings closed. This method is complex and inconvenient. Furthermore, if the cable management rack is large and the cables are close to functional modules, it can negatively impact server heat dissipation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a server module, including:

[0006] A server includes a housing and a plurality of functional modules disposed within the housing, at least one of the functional modules including a functional module body and a mounting plate disposed at an end of the functional module body; and

[0007] A cable management rack is located on one side of the mounting plate;

[0008] The cable management rack includes:

[0009] A bracket includes a connecting seat and a support portion disposed on one side of the connecting seat. The connecting seat is connected to a mounting plate.

Each support portion includes a first support surface and a second support surface disposed opposite each other along the second direction. The first support surface and the second support surface extend along a third direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction intersect each other.

[0010] A cable management component is detachably disposed on the first support surface and / or the second support surface. The cable management component includes a first cable management part and a second cable management part. The first cable management part includes a first end, and the second cable management part includes a second end. The first end and the second end are detachably connected so that the cable management component has an open state and a closed state.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Servers can include 1U, 2U, 3U, and 4U servers. A server can include multiple functional modules, such as expansion card modules, hard drive modules, front control panel modules, and network card modules. Some functional modules require cable connections for data transmission; others require plugging and unplugging for maintenance. Therefore, cables need to be neatly arranged to prevent them from interfering with the installation and removal of modules requiring plugging and unplugging for maintenance.

[0034] Taking a 1U server as an example, the 1U server is divided into two layers along its height. The first layer is defined as the upper layer, and the second layer as the lower layer. At least one functional module is located on the upper layer, and at least one functional module is located on the lower layer. Some functional modules have cables plugged into them. If these cables are not secured, they will be in a free state and fall downwards due to gravity. These drooping cables may obstruct functional modules that require hot-swapping maintenance, affecting operation and maintenance. For the same server, cables from the upper layer may affect the maintenance of functional modules on the lower layer, and cables from the lower layer may affect the maintenance of functional modules on the upper layer of another server located below.

[0035] In related technologies, cable management racks are used to organize cables, but there are problems such as cables easily coming out of the cable management trays, or the cable management racks having complex structures that make it inconvenient for operators to organize cables, or the cable management racks and cables affecting server heat dissipation.

[0036] The following is combined Figures 1 to 14 Describes a server module according to an embodiment of this application.

[0037] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the server module includes a server 20 and a cable management rack 10. The server 20 includes a housing 21 and multiple functional modules 22 housed within the housing 21, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at least one functional module 22 includes a functional module body and a mounting plate 222 disposed at the end of the functional module body, and a cable management rack 10 is disposed on one side of the mounting plate 222.

[0038] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cable management rack 10 includes a bracket 11 and cable management components 12 disposed on the bracket 11. The bracket 11 includes a connecting seat 111 and a support portion 112 disposed on one side of the connecting seat 111. The connecting seat 111 is connected to the mounting plate 222. The connecting seat 111 has a first direction and a second direction. Two support portions 112 are spaced apart from each other along the first direction on the connecting seat 111. The support portion 112 includes a first support surface 1123 and a second support surface 1124 disposed opposite each other along the second direction. The first support surface 1123 and the second support surface 1124 extend along a third direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction intersect each other.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cable management component 12 is detachably mounted on the first support surface 1123 and / or the second support surface 1124. Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the cable management component 12 includes a first cable management section 121 and a second cable management section 122. The first cable management section 121 includes a first end portion 1211, and the second cable management section 122 includes a second end portion 1221. The first end portion 1211 and the second end portion 1221 are detachably connected to allow the cable management component 12 to have an open state and a closed state. Wherein, as... Figure 9 As shown, when the cable management component 12 is in the open state, the first end 1211 and the second end 1221 are separated, and the second cable management portion 122 can be bent to one side of the first cable management portion 121. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the cable management component 12 is in the closed state, the first end 1211 is connected to the second end 1221, and the second cable management part 122 and the first cable management part 121 enclose each other to form a cable management cavity 120 through which the cable 30 passes.

[0040] Server 20 may include a housing 21 and multiple functional modules 22 installed within the housing 21. Functional modules 22 include expansion card modules, hard disk modules, front control board modules, network card modules, etc. Cables 30 connected to the input or output terminals of functional modules 22 should be routed towards the left or right side of server 20 for easy maintenance of the functional modules 22. Server 20's functional modules 22 include multiple upper-layer functional modules 22 and multiple lower-layer functional modules 22. The connection method between functional modules 22 and housing 21 is a common connection method for server 20 and will not be described in detail here. At least one functional module 22 includes a functional module body and a mounting plate 222 located at the end of the functional module body, with a cable management rack 10 mounted on the mounting plate 222. It is understood that each functional module 22 can be configured with a mounting plate 222 for connection to the cable management rack 10. The installation position of the cable management rack 10 on server 20 can be flexibly adjusted according to the position of the cables 30 plugged into server 20. Server 20 has length, width, and height directions.

[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bracket 11 includes a connector 111 and a support 112. The connector 111 can be approximately cuboid in shape. The connector 111 has a first direction and a second direction. The first direction is consistent with the width direction of the server 20, and the second direction is consistent with the height direction of the server 20. The first direction and the second direction can be perpendicular to each other. The dimensions of the connector 111 along the first direction and the second direction are adapted to the dimensions of the mounting plate 222 of the functional module 22. By reasonably setting the dimensions of the connector 111 along the first direction and the second direction, the connector 111 and the functional module 22 are minimized as much as possible while meeting the connection function, so as to avoid affecting the heat dissipation of the server 20.

[0042] Support portions 112 are located on the side of the connector 111 opposite to the functional module 22, and two support portions 112 are spaced apart on the connector 111 along a first direction. Each support portion 112 can be plate-shaped, and has a first support surface 1123 and a second support surface 1124 arranged opposite each other along a second direction. The first support surface 1123 and the second support surface 1124 extend in a third direction away from the functional module 22. A suitable distance is maintained between the first support surface 1123 and the second support surface 1124 and the connector 111. The cable 30 can be placed on either the first support surface 1123 or the second support surface 1124, thus maintaining a suitable distance between the cable 30 and the connector 111. This secures the cable 30 while preventing it from being too close to the functional module 22, which could affect the heat dissipation of the server 20.

[0043] The bracket 11 and cable management component 12 are used to fix and support the cables 30, ensuring that the cables 30 on each layer of the server 20 remain within the horizontal space of their respective layer. That is, the cables 30 as a whole remain horizontal or nearly horizontal, without affecting the operation and maintenance of functional modules 22 on other layers. The bracket 11 can be installed on functional modules 22 that do not require frequent plugging and unplugging for maintenance. The cable management component 12 can be fixedly or movably connected to the first support surface 1123 or the second support surface 1124 of the bracket 11. For ease of description, the first support surface 1123 and the second support surface 1124 are collectively referred to as the support surface.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are two cable management components 12. One cable management component 12 is installed on the side where the first support surface 1123 is located, and the other cable management component 12 is installed on the side where the second support surface 1124 is located.

[0045] In some embodiments, the number of cable management components 12 is one. The first support surface 1123 can be facing upwards, and the cable management component 12 can be installed on the first support surface 1123. Alternatively, the bracket 11 can be rotated 180 degrees, with the second support surface 1124 facing upwards, and the cable management component 12 can be installed on the second support surface 1124.

[0046] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the cable management component 12 may include a first cable management portion 121 and a second cable management portion 122, which may be integrally molded. The cable management component 12 is made of a bendable material, which may include tough metal materials, plastics, nylon materials, polyester materials, etc. The second cable management portion 122 can be bent relative to the first cable management portion 121, and the second cable management portion 122 can be bent to an angle greater than or equal to 90 degrees with the first cable management portion 121.

[0047] One end of the first thread-retaining portion 121 and one end of the second thread-retaining portion 122 are detachably connected; the first thread-retaining portion 121 and the second thread-retaining portion 122 are integrally molded parts, that is, the other end of the first thread-retaining portion 121 and one end of the second thread-retaining portion 122 are permanently connected or not detachably connected. In this document, for ease of description, the end of the first thread-retaining portion 121 that is detachably connected to the second thread-retaining portion 122 is referred to as the first end 1211, and the end of the second thread-retaining portion 122 that is detachably connected to the first thread-retaining portion 121 is referred to as the second end 1221.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first cable management portion 121 and the bracket 11 can be connected by fasteners. For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, a bearing portion 113 is provided between the two support portions 112. The bearing portion 113 has a threaded hole, and a connecting hole can be provided on the first cable management portion 121. The connecting hole can be a through hole or a threaded hole. Fasteners can include screws, which are screwed into the connecting hole of the first cable management portion 121 and the threaded hole of the bearing portion 113 to connect the first cable management portion 121 with the bracket 11.

[0049] In some embodiments, the cable management component 12 can be movably connected to the bracket 11. For example, the bracket 11 has a through-hole limiting groove located between two support portions 112. After at least a portion of the cable management component 12 passes through the limiting groove, the first end 1211 and the second end 1221 are connected, thus connecting the cable management component 12 to the bracket 11. After the first end 1211 and the second end 1221 are separated, the cable management component 12 can be separated from the bracket 11.

[0050] The first end 1211 and the second end 1221 can be connected by adhesive bonding, snap fastening, or other connection methods.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, one side of the first end 1211 of the first thread guiding part 121 is provided with a hook-and-loop surface, and one side of the second end 1221 of the second thread guiding part 122 is provided with a hook-and-loop velvet surface. The hook-and-loop surface and the hook-and-loop velvet surface can be bonded together, connecting the first end 1211 and the second end 1221. Applying an external force to the second end 1221 separates the second end 1221 from the first end 1211, thus deconnecting the second thread guiding part 122 from the first thread guiding part 121. It can be understood that the first end 1211 may also have a hook-and-loop velvet surface, and the second end 1221 may have a hook-and-loop surface.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first end 1211 of the first cable management portion 121 is provided with a female buckle, and the second end 1221 of the second cable management portion 122 is provided with a male buckle. The male buckle and the female buckle can be engaged, connecting the first end 1211 and the second end 1221. The male buckle and the female buckle form a snap-fit ​​structure, which can be a press-type snap-fit ​​structure. By pressing the male buckle, the male buckle and the female buckle are unlocked, and the second cable management portion 122 is disconnected from the first cable management portion 121. It is understood that the first end 1211 may also be provided with a male buckle, and the second end 1221 may be provided with a female buckle.

[0053] The second end 1221 is separated from the first end 1211, meaning the second cable management section 122 is disconnected from the first cable management section 121. The second cable management section 122 can be bent to one side of the first cable management section 121, and the cable management component 12 is in an open state. A large operating space is formed above the first cable management section 121, facilitating the placement of one or more cables 30 above it. Multiple cables 30 can first contact the supporting surface of the support section 112. After placing the cables 30, the second end 1221 is connected to the first end 1211. The cable management cavity 120 formed by the connection of the second cable management section 122 and the first cable management section 121 confines the cables 30 within a closed-loop space, preventing the cables 30 from slipping out. Understandably, when it is necessary to remove or replace the cable 30 on the functional module 22, after the second end 1221 is disconnected from the first end 1211, the second cable management part 122 can be bent to one side of the first cable management part 121. The support surface still has a supporting function for the cable 30. The operator can take out the cable 30 that needs to be removed as needed, which also facilitates the operator's operation.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the example is taken with the first support surface 1123 of the support 112 facing upwards and the cable management component 12 located on the side of the bracket 11 where the first support surface 1123 is located. Along the width direction of the server 20, the cable management rack 10 has a first side and a second side, the first side being the right side and the second side being the left side. The cable management rack 10 can be installed on a functional module 22 near the left end of the server 20, and the cables 30 located on the first side of the cable management rack 10 can be neatly routed through the cable management cavity 120 of the cable management component 12 to the second side of the cable management rack 10. Alternatively, the cable management rack 10 can be installed on a functional module 22 near the right end of the server 20, and the cables 30 located on the second side of the cable management rack 10 can be neatly routed through the cable management cavity 120 of the cable management component 12 to the first side of the cable management rack 10. By fixing and supporting the cables 30 on the upper layer of the server 20 through the cable management component 12, the cables 30 are less likely to droop into the corresponding space on the lower layer and will not obstruct the functional module 22 on the lower layer.

[0055] The cable 30 passes through the cable management cavity 120 of the cable management component 12, preventing it from coming out. The inner wall surface of the cable management component 12 and the support surfaces of the two support parts 112 fix and support the cable 30, ensuring that the cable 30 is stably held in the cable management cavity 120 on one side of the support surface and within the space on that side. This allows the cable 30 to maintain a horizontal or near-horizontal state along the width direction of the server 20. The cable management component 12 and the support surfaces of the bracket 11 effectively organize the cable 30, ensuring that the cable routing does not interfere with the installation and removal of the functional modules 22 that require plugging and unplugging for maintenance.

[0056] The connector 111 is connected to the mounting plate 222 of the functional module 22. The support part 112 is located on the side of the connector 111 away from the functional module 22. By reasonably setting the dimensions of the connector 111 along the first and second directions and the dimensions of the support part 112 along the third direction, the bracket 11 is miniaturized and compacted while satisfying the connection and support functions. The first support surface 1123 and the second support surface 1124 are spaced at an appropriate distance from the connector 111. The cable 30 is placed on the first support surface 1123 or the second support surface 1124, spaced at a certain distance from the end of the functional module 22, which can effectively avoid affecting the heat dissipation of the server 20.

[0057] In the embodiments of this application, the cable management bracket 10 is disposed on the mounting plate 222 at the end of the functional module 22. Two support portions 112 are spaced apart on the connecting seat 111 along a first direction. The first support surface 1123 and the second support surface 1124 of the support portions 112 extend along a third direction, which is beneficial to the miniaturization and compactness of the overall structure of the bracket 11. The cable management component 12 is detachably disposed at the first support surface 1123 and / or the second support surface 1124 of the support portion 112. When the second end 1221 is deconnected from the first end 1211, the second cable management portion 122 can be bent to the first end 1224. On one side of the cable management section 121, a suitable operating space is formed at the first cable management section 121, which facilitates the operation when placing or removing the cable 30. When the second end 1221 is connected to the first end 1211, the cable 30 passes through the cable management cavity 120, which can prevent the cable 30 from coming out. The cable 30 is stably supported by the cable management component 12 and the support surface of the bracket 11, so that the cable 30 is kept in a horizontal or nearly horizontal state, effectively preventing the cable 30 from drooping and preventing the cable 30 from affecting the installation or removal of the functional module 22, thus improving the convenience of maintaining the functional module 22.

[0058] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the bracket 11 also includes a support portion 113, a first limiting portion 114, and a first limiting groove 1141. The support portion 113 is disposed between the two support portions 112 along a first direction. The first limiting portion 114 is disposed between the two support portions 112 along the first direction and spaced apart from the support portion 113 along a second direction. The first limiting groove 1141 is located between the first limiting portion 114 and the support portion 113, and at least a portion of the first cable management portion 121 is located in the first limiting groove 1141.

[0059] For example, the connector 111 can be cuboid in shape, and the connector 111 has a first direction and a second direction. The first direction can be the width direction, and the second direction can be the length direction. Figure 6 As shown, the first direction is consistent with the horizontal direction, and the second direction is consistent with the vertical direction. It should be understood that the first and second directions are only for illustration. The connector 111 can be connected to the functional module 22 of the server 20 via a screw connection. The width of the connector 111 is similar to the mounting plate 222 of the functional module 22 (see reference). Figure 4 The dimensions of the connector 111 are adapted to the dimensions of the server 20, and the length of the connector 111 is adapted to the height of the server 20.

[0060] like Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the support portion 112 can be a plate-like body, and along the thickness direction of the support portion 112, the support portion 112 has opposing inner and outer surfaces, and the thickness direction of the support portion 112 is consistent with the first direction. The bearing portion 113 can be a plate-like body, and its two ends along the first direction are respectively connected to the inner surfaces of the two support portions 112. The first limiting portion 114 can be a plate-like body, and along the second direction, the first limiting portion 114 and the bearing portion 113 are spaced apart.

[0061] like Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, along the second direction, the support portion 112 has opposing first support surfaces 1123 and second support surfaces 1124. Figure 6 and Figure 10 In the example shown, the first support surface 1123 is located above, and the second support surface 1124 is located below. It should be understood that the bracket 11 can be rotated 180 degrees, with the second support surface 1124 above and the first support surface 1123 below. Along the thickness direction of the first limiting portion 114, the first limiting portion 114 has opposing first and second surfaces 1142. The thickness direction of the first limiting portion 114 is consistent with the second direction. The first surface is opposite to the bearing portion 113, and the second surface 1142 can be flush with the first support surface 1123, that is, the second surface 1142 can be coplanar with the first support surface 1123.

[0062] like Figure 11 As shown, a first limiting groove 1141 is formed between the first limiting part 114 and the supporting part 113, and the depth of the first limiting groove 1141 is adapted to the thickness of the cable management component 12. The cable management component 12 can pass through the first limiting groove 1141 to realize the assembly of the cable management component 12 and the bracket 11.

[0063] The assembly process of the cable management component 12 and the bracket 11 is as follows: the second cable management part 122 is introduced from one end of the first limiting groove 1141. After the second cable management part 122 completely passes through the first limiting groove 1141, most of the first cable management part 121 is located in the first limiting groove 1141. It can be understood that the size of the end of the first cable management part 121 is larger than the distance between the two support parts 112, that is, the size of the end of the first cable management part 121 is larger than the size of the first limiting groove 1141 along the first direction, so as to prevent the first cable management component 12 from coming out of the first limiting groove 1141.

[0064] A first limiting groove 1141 is formed between the supporting part 113 and the first limiting part 114. After the second cable management part 122 passes through the first limiting groove 1141, a portion of the first cable management part 121 is located in the first limiting groove 1141, thereby realizing the assembly of the cable management component 12 and the bracket 11, which is convenient. In addition, if it is necessary to replace the cable management component 12, the cable management component 12 can be pulled out from the first limiting groove 1141, thus separating the cable management component 12 from the bracket 11.

[0065] Optionally, the cable management rack 10 can be configured with multiple cable management components 12 of different lengths. When the number of cables 30 plugged into the server 20 is small, shorter cable management components 12 are installed on the rack 11; when the number of cables 30 plugged into the server 20 is large, longer cable management components 12 are installed on the rack 11. The ability to flexibly configure cable management components 12 of different lengths according to the number of cables 30 improves the versatility of the cable management rack 10.

[0066] In the embodiments of this application, the bearing part 113 is located between two support parts 112, the first limiting part 114 and the bearing part 113 are spaced apart along the second direction, and the second cable management part 122 passes through the first limiting groove 1141 and connects to the first cable management part 121, which is conducive to the convenience of installing and disassembling the cable management part 12 and the bracket 11; multiple cable management parts 12 of different lengths can be configured, and the appropriate length of cable management part 12 can be flexibly selected according to the number of cables 30, which is conducive to improving the flexibility and versatility of the cable management rack 10.

[0067] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, the bracket 11 includes at least two bearing portions 113, at least two first limiting portions 114, and at least two first limiting grooves 1141. The at least two bearing portions 113 are spaced apart between the two support portions 112 along a third direction, the at least two first limiting portions 114 are spaced apart between the two support portions 112 along a third direction, and the at least two first limiting grooves 1141 are respectively located between the at least two first limiting portions 114 and the at least two bearing portions 113 that are arranged opposite to each other along a second direction.

[0068] like Figure 6 As shown, the bracket 11 has a first direction, a second direction and a third direction. The first direction of the bracket 11 is consistent with the width direction of the connecting seat 111, the second direction of the bracket 11 is consistent with the length direction of the connecting seat 111, and the third direction of the bracket 11 is consistent with the length direction of the support portion 112.

[0069] The number of bearing parts 113 and the number of first limiting parts 114 are set according to actual needs. At least two first limiting parts 114 and at least two bearing parts 113 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence along the second direction.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, there are two support parts 113, which are spaced apart along a third direction. The distance between the two support parts 113 is not specifically limited. Two first limiting parts 114 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the two support parts 113.

[0071] An operating space is formed between the two support parts 113. During the installation of the cable management component 12, when the second cable management part 122 passes through the first limiting groove 1141, an external force can be applied to the second cable management part 122 in the area between the two support parts 113, so that the second cable management part 122 can pass smoothly through the first limiting groove 1141, which is beneficial to the convenience of assembling the cable management component 12 and the bracket 11.

[0072] Two first limiting parts 114 are spaced apart along a third direction. After the second cable management part 122 is connected to the first cable management part 121, the cable management cavity 120 formed by the cable management component 12 is sized along a third direction and is equivalent to the length of the two first limiting parts 114 along a third direction. This makes the cable management component 12 have a suitable accommodating space along a third direction, which is suitable for accommodating multiple cables 30 arranged side by side, avoiding the cables 30 from intertwining. When it is necessary to remove some cables 30, the cable management component 12 can be opened to quickly remove the cables 30 that need to be removed, which is beneficial to the convenience of operation.

[0073] It is understandable that the number of support parts 113 can be three or more, and the number of first limiting parts 114 can be three or more. Multiple support parts 113 are spaced apart along a third direction, and multiple first limiting parts 114 are spaced apart along a third direction. While satisfying the function of supporting the cable management component 12, this is beneficial to the weight reduction of the bracket 11.

[0074] In the embodiments of this application, at least two bearing portions 113 are spaced apart between two support portions 112 along a third direction, and at least two first limiting portions 114 are correspondingly arranged with at least two bearing portions 113. The area between two adjacent bearing portions 113 facilitates the installation and disassembly of the cable management component 12. In addition, the cable management cavity 120 formed by the cable management component 12 has a suitable accommodating space along a third direction, which can accommodate multiple cables 30 arranged side by side, effectively preventing the cables 30 from intertwining and facilitating the maintenance of the cables 30.

[0075] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, along the third direction, the size of the first limiting part 114 is smaller than the size of the bearing part 113.

[0076] The length of the first limiting portion 114 along the third direction is smaller than the length of the bearing portion 113 along the third direction. The first limiting portion 114 may be located at a position corresponding to the middle region of the bearing portion 113. The first limiting portion 114 may also be located at a position corresponding to the end region of the bearing portion 113.

[0077] The size of the supporting part 113 is larger than that of the first limiting part 114, ensuring effective support for the cable management component 12 and effectively preventing the cable management component 12 and cable 30 from sagging. The size of the first limiting part 114 is smaller than that of the supporting part 113, creating an operating space for applying external force between the end face of the first limiting part 114 and the end face of the supporting part 113. When installing and removing the cable management component 12, the cable management component 12 is pressed into contact with the supporting surface of the supporting part 113 in the operating space, and then the cable management component 12 is moved, which facilitates operation.

[0078] In the embodiments of this application, along the third direction, the size of the supporting part 113 is larger than the size of the first limiting part 114, which can effectively support the cable management component 12 and the cable 30; along the third direction, the size of the first limiting part 114 is smaller than the size of the supporting part 113, which can form an operating space for applying external force between the first limiting part 114 and the supporting part 113, which is beneficial to further improve the convenience of installing and disassembling the cable management component 12.

[0079] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, the bracket 11 may further include a second limiting portion 115 and a second limiting groove 1151. The second limiting portion 115 is spaced apart from the support portion 113 along a second direction. In the second direction, the second limiting portion 115 and the first limiting portion 114 are located on opposite sides of the support portion 113, and the second limiting groove 1151 is located between the second limiting portion 115 and the support portion 113. At least a portion of the first cable management portion 121 of at least one cable management member 12 is located in the first limiting groove 1141, and / or, at least a portion of the first cable management portion 121 of at least another cable management member 12 is located in the second limiting groove 1151.

[0080] The second limiting part 115 can be a plate-like body, and its structure can be the same as that of the first limiting part 114. Along the second direction, the second limiting part 115, the supporting part 113, and the first limiting part 114 are arranged sequentially. Along the thickness direction of the second limiting part 115, it has opposing third and fourth surfaces. Along the thickness direction of the supporting part 113, it has opposing first and second supporting surfaces. The first surface of the first limiting part 114 faces the first supporting surface of the supporting part 113, and its second surface 1142 can be flush with the first supporting surfaces 1123 of the two supporting parts 112. The third surface of the second limiting part 115 faces the second supporting surface of the supporting part 113, and its fourth surface can be flush with the second supporting surfaces 1124 of the two supporting parts 112.

[0081] A second limiting groove 1151 is formed between the second limiting part 115 and the supporting part 113. The depth of the second limiting groove 1151 is adapted to the thickness of the cable management component 12, and the cable management component 12 can pass through the second limiting groove 1151 to realize the assembly of the cable management component 12 and the bracket 11. The process of installing the cable management component 12 at the second limiting part 115 can be referred to the process of installing the cable management component 12 at the first limiting part 114, and will not be described in detail here.

[0082] After the second cable management section 122 of the cable management component 12 passes through the second limiting groove 1151, a portion of the first cable management section 121 is located in the second limiting groove 1151, thereby assembling the cable management component 12 with the bracket 11, which is convenient. If the cable management component 12 needs to be replaced, simply pull out the cable management component 12 and remove it from the second limiting groove 1151 to separate the cable management component 12 from the bracket 11.

[0083] The number of second limiting parts 115 is set according to actual needs. Multiple second limiting parts 115 are arranged one-to-one with multiple supporting parts 113. During the installation of the cable management component 12, as the second cable management part 122 passes through the second limiting groove 1151, an external force can be applied to the second cable management part 122 in the area between the two supporting parts 113, so that the second cable management part 122 can pass smoothly through the second limiting groove 1151, which is beneficial to the convenience of assembly.

[0084] In some embodiments, two second limiting portions 115 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with two carrying portions 113. The two second limiting portions 115 are spaced apart along a third direction. After the second cable management portion 122 is connected to the first cable management portion 121, the cable management cavity 120 formed by the cable management member 12 along a third direction has a dimension approximately equal to the length of the two second limiting portions 115 along a third direction. This provides the cable management member 12 with suitable accommodating space along a third direction, suitable for accommodating multiple cables 30 arranged side-by-side, preventing the cables 30 from intertwining. When it is necessary to remove certain cables 30, opening the cable management member 12 facilitates the quick removal of the cables 30, improving operational convenience. It is understood that the number of second limiting portions 115 can be two or more.

[0085] The following describes the assembly and use of the cable management rack 10 on the server 20.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the functional modules 22 on the server 20 that require cable 30 to be plugged in are all located on the upper layer, while the functional modules 22 that require plugging and unplugging for maintenance are all located on the lower layer.

[0087] The cable management rack 10 can be installed on a functional module 22 on the left side of the server 20. The cable management component 12 can be assembled with the bracket 11 first, and then the bracket 11 can be installed on the functional module 22; alternatively, the bracket 11 can be connected to the functional module 22 first, and then the cable management component 12 can be installed on the bracket 11. For example, the bracket 11 can be connected to the mounting plate 222 of the functional module 22, with the first limiting part 114 located above and the second limiting part 115 located below. The cable management component 12 is passed through the first limiting groove 1141 to assemble with the bracket 11. The upper-layer cable 30 passes through the cable management cavity 120 of the cable management component 12, and the cable 30 is neatly arranged from the first side of the cable management rack 10 to the second side of the cable management rack 10. The first support surface 1123 of the two support parts 112 and the cable management component 12 effectively fix and support the cable 30. Alternatively, the bracket 11 can be rotated 180 degrees, with the second limiting part 115 positioned above and the first limiting part 114 below. The cable management component 12 is then passed through the second limiting groove 1151, assembling the cable management component 12 with the bracket 11. The upper cable 30 passes through the cable management cavity 120 of the cable management component 12, and the cable 30 is neatly arranged from the first side of the cable management frame 10 to the second side of the cable management frame 10. The second support surfaces 1124 of the two supporting parts 112 and the cable management component 12 effectively fix and support the cable 30. The bracket 11 can be installed either upright or in reverse to meet normal usage requirements.

[0088] In some embodiments, some functional modules 22 on the upper layer of server 20 are connected to cables 30, and some functional modules 22 on the lower layer of server 20 are connected to cables 30.

[0089] The cable management frame 10 can be installed on a functional module 22 on the left side of the server 20. A bracket 11 is connected to the functional module 22, and two cable management components 12 are installed on the bracket 11. One cable management component 12 passes through the first limiting groove 1141 and is assembled with the bracket 11, while the other cable management component 12 passes through the second limiting groove 1151 and is assembled with the bracket 11. Cables 30 located on the upper layer pass through the cable management cavity 120 of the cable management component 12 above the bracket 11. The cables 30 are neatly arranged from the first side to the second side of the cable management frame 10. The first support surfaces 1123 of the two support parts 112 and the upper cable management component 12 effectively fix and support the cables 30. Cables 30 located on the lower layer pass through the cable management cavity 120 of the cable management component 12 below the bracket 11. The cables 30 are neatly arranged from the first side to the second side of the cable management frame 10. The second limiting part 115 and the lower cable management component 12 effectively fix and support the cables 30. This achieves the fixation of both the upper and lower layer cables 30.

[0090] When multiple servers 20 are installed vertically at intervals in the rack, the cables 30 on the upper layer of server 20 do not affect the operation and maintenance of the lower functional module 22; the cables 30 on the lower layer of server 20 do not affect the operation and maintenance of the upper functional module 22 of another server 20 located below.

[0091] In some embodiments, when both the upper and lower layers of the server 20 have functional modules 22 that require plugging and unplugging maintenance, if the lower-layer functional module 22 needs to be plugged and unplugged for maintenance, the lower cable management component 12 is opened, the lower-layer cable 30 is fixed into the upper cable management component 12, and then the lower-layer functional module 22 is disassembled and installed. If the upper-layer functional module 22 needs to be plugged and unplugged for maintenance, the upper cable management component 12 is opened, the upper-layer cable 30 is fixed into the lower cable management component 12, and then the upper-layer functional module 22 is disassembled and installed.

[0092] When cable management components 12 are installed on both the side where the first support surface 1123 is located and the side where the second support surface 1124 is located, the fixing position of the cable 30 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0093] In the embodiments of this application, the second limiting part 115, the bearing part 113 and the first limiting part 114 are arranged sequentially along the second direction. Cable management components 12 can be installed on both sides of the bearing part 113. One or two cable management components 12 can be installed according to usage requirements. The cable management rack 10 and the server 20 are assembled together, which is conducive to further improving the convenience of operation and maintenance of the functional module 22 on the server 20.

[0094] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the support portion 112 may include a first support segment 1121 and a second support segment 1122. In a third direction, the first support segment 1121 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end is connected to the connecting seat 111, and the first support segment 1121 may be tapered in the direction from the first end to the second end. The second support segment 1122 is connected to the second end, and at least two bearing portions 113 and at least two first limiting portions 114 are located on the second support segment 1122. A first support surface 1123 and a second support surface 1124 are located on the second support segment 1122.

[0095] The support portion 112 may include a first support segment 1121 and a second support segment 1122 connected in sequence. The support portion 112 may be vertically disposed on one side of the connecting seat 111. The first support segment 1121 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, the first end being connected to the connecting seat 111 and the second end being connected to the second support segment 1122.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first support segment 1121 may be approximately trapezoidal in shape. That is, it extends along a third direction from the first end toward the second end, and the size of the first support segment 1121 gradually decreases. The length of the first end may be the same as the length of the connecting seat 111, and the length of the second end may be the same as the size of the second support segment 1122 along the second direction.

[0097] The second support section 1122 can be flat. Along the second direction, the two opposite end faces of the second support section 1122 are a first support surface 1123 and a second support surface 1124, which are parallel to each other and can support the cable 30. The second support section 1122 has length and width dimensions, which are set according to actual needs. The length dimension is sufficient to allow multiple cables 30 to be arranged side by side on the first support surface 1123 or the second support surface 1124 of the support section 112. The width dimension is sufficient to install the bearing section 113, the first limiting section 114, and the second limiting section 115.

[0098] The first support section 1121 is tapered, giving the support portion 112 sufficient structural strength. The second support section 1122 is flat, providing a suitable length of support surface for laying multiple cables 30 side by side. Furthermore, spaces suitable for installing cable management components 12 and routing cables 30 can be formed on opposite sides of the second support section 1122 along the second direction, ensuring that the cables 30 on each layer of the server 20 remain within the horizontal space of their respective layer. The connection between the first support section 1121 and the second support section 1122 can be smoothly transitioned.

[0099] There is a suitable distance between the second end of the first support segment 1121 and the connecting seat 111. At least two bearing portions 113, at least two first limiting portions 114, and at least two second limiting portions 115 are located between the two second support segments 1122. The cable management cavity 120 formed by the cable management component 12 is located approximately in the area opposite to the second support segment 1122. There is a suitable distance between the second support segment 1122 and the connecting seat 111, so that the cable 30 has a suitable distance from the end of the functional module 22 in a third direction, which can effectively avoid affecting the heat dissipation of the functional module 22.

[0100] In the embodiments of this application, the support portion 112 may include a first support segment 1121 and a second support segment 1122 connected to each other. The first support segment 1121 is tapered and the second support segment 1122 is flat. This not only gives the support portion 112 suitable structural strength, but also facilitates the formation of spaces suitable for installing the cable management component 12 and for routing the cable 30 on opposite sides of the second support segment 1122. In addition, the cable 30 is located in the area opposite to the second support segment 1122, which can avoid affecting the heat dissipation of the functional module 22.

[0101] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first thread-management portion 121 includes an opening 12111 at a first end 1211 and a first connecting portion 123. The second thread-management portion 122 includes a second connecting portion 124 at a second end 1221. The second connecting portion 124 of the second thread-management portion 122 can pass through the opening 12111, and the second connecting portion 124 is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 123. The second connecting portion 124 and the first connecting portion 123 can be connected by adhesive.

[0102] In some embodiments, the first thread-guiding portion 121 and the second thread-guiding portion 122 may be made of nylon, polyester, or other materials, and the second thread-guiding portion 122 may be bent at will. The second thread-guiding portion 122 may be in the shape of a regular strip, and the width of most sections of the first thread-guiding portion 121 may be the same as the width of the second thread-guiding portion 122.

[0103] A first connecting portion 123 is provided on one surface of the first end portion 1211 of the first thread guide portion 121. A second connecting portion 124 is provided on one surface or on both opposite surfaces of the second end portion 1221 of the second thread guide portion 122. The first connecting portion 123 can be a hook and loop fastener surface, and the second connecting portion 124 can be a hook and loop fastener fleece surface. The first connecting portion 123 and the second connecting portion 124 can be connected by an adhesive method.

[0104] It is understandable that the width of the first end 1211 is greater than the width of the second thread-guiding part 122. The first end 1211 has an opening 12111, the size of which is slightly larger than the width and thickness of the second thread-guiding part 122. The size of the opening 12111 is sufficient to allow the second thread-guiding part 122 to pass through smoothly.

[0105] When it is necessary to secure the cable 30, first open the cable management component 12, place the cable 30 on the support surface of the first cable management part 121 and the support part 112, then pass the second end 1221 of the second cable management part 122 through the opening 12111, and then align the second connecting part 124 with the first connecting part 123 and press it down to connect the second cable management part 122 with the first cable management part 121. After the second end 1221 passes through the opening 12111 and connects with the first end 1211, the opening 12111 provides a certain limiting effect on the second end 1221. In the connected state, the second end 1221 is not easy to separate from the first end 1211, which helps to improve the reliability of the connection.

[0106] When the second cable management part 122 needs to be disconnected from the first cable management part 121, a pulling force is applied to the second end 1221, the second connecting part 124 separates from the first connecting part 123, the second end 1221 is pulled out from the opening 12111, and the second cable management part 122 is disconnected from the first cable management part 121.

[0107] In the embodiments of this application, the second wire management part 122 passes through the opening 12111 and is connected to the first wire management part 121 through the connection of the first connecting part 123 and the second connecting part 124. The opening 12111 plays a certain limiting role for the second wire management part 122, which helps to improve the reliability of the connection between the second wire management part 122 and the first wire management part 121.

[0108] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second thread-arranging part 122 has a second connecting part 124 on both sides opposite to it, and the second connecting part 124 is connected to the first connecting part 123 by adhesive bonding.

[0109] The second end portion 1221 of the second thread-arranging portion 122 may have two opposing surfaces provided with a second connecting portion 124. The opening 12111 has opposing third and fourth sides. On one surface of the first end portion 1211 of the first thread-arranging portion 121, a first connecting portion 123 is provided on both the third and fourth sides of the opening 12111.

[0110] After the second end portion 1221 of the second thread-guiding portion 122 passes through the opening 12111, the second end portion 1221 can be bent toward the third side of the opening 12111. A second connecting portion 124 on one surface of the second end portion 1221 connects to a first connecting portion 123 located on the third side of the opening 12111. Similarly, after passing through the opening 12111, the second end portion 1221 can also be bent toward the fourth side of the opening 12111. A second connecting portion 124 on the other surface of the second end portion 1221 connects to the first connecting portion 123 located on the fourth side of the opening 12111. In other words, after passing through the opening 12111, the second end portion 1221 can be bent toward either the third or fourth side of the opening 12111 to achieve the connection between the second connecting portion 124 and the first connecting portion 123.

[0111] The second connecting part 124 is connected to the first connecting part 123 by adhesive bonding. By pressing or applying pulling force, the connection or separation of the second connecting part 124 and the first connecting part 123 can be quickly realized, which facilitates the convenience of switching the cable management component 12 between the open and closed states.

[0112] The length of the second connecting part 124 can be set according to actual needs. When the length of the second connecting part 124 is relatively long, the bonding position between the second connecting part 124 and the first connecting part 123 can be flexibly adjusted, that is, the volume of the cable management cavity 120 formed by the second cable management part 122 and the first cable management part 121 is adjustable.

[0113] When the number of cables 30 is small, the length of the second cable management part 122 passing through the opening 12111 is relatively long, and the volume of the cable management cavity 120 formed by the second cable management part 122 and the first cable management part 121 is relatively small, so as to achieve a firm fixation of the cable 30 and prevent the cable 30 from shaking in the cable management cavity 120.

[0114] When there are a large number of cables 30, for example, when six cables 30 need to be fixed, the length of the second cable management part 122 passing through the opening 12111 is relatively short, and the volume of the cable management cavity 120 formed by the second cable management part 122 and the first cable management part 121 is relatively large, so as to achieve a firm fixation of multiple cables 30.

[0115] In some embodiments, the cable management frame 10 can be configured with multiple cable management components 12 of different lengths. When the number of cables 30 plugged into the server 20 is small, shorter cable management components 12 are installed on the frame 11 to secure the cables 30; when the number of cables 30 plugged into the server 20 is large, longer cable management components 12 are installed on the frame 11. The connection position between the second cable management section 122 and the first cable management section 121 is flexibly adjusted according to the number of cables 30, and the volume of the cable management cavity 120 is adjusted to achieve stable fixation of the cables 30.

[0116] In the embodiments of this application, the second cable management portion 122 may have a second connecting portion 124 on both opposite sides. After passing through the opening 12111, the second cable management portion 122 can be bent towards the third side of the opening 12111 and connected to the first cable management portion 121, or it can be bent towards the fourth side of the opening 12111 and connected to the first cable management portion 121, which is beneficial to the flexibility of the connection method. The second connecting portion 124 and the first connecting portion 123 are connected by adhesive, which is beneficial to the convenience of switching the cable management component 12 between the open and closed states. In addition, the adhesive position can be flexibly adjusted, and the volume of the cable management cavity 120 formed by the second cable management portion 122 and the first cable management portion 121 is adjustable. The volume of the cable management cavity 120 can be adjusted according to the number of cables 30 to achieve a firm fixation of the cables 30.

[0117] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the dimension of the end of the first thread-guiding part 121 along the first direction is larger than the dimension of the first limiting groove 1141 along the first direction.

[0118] The dimension of the end of the first thread-guiding portion 121 along the first direction is greater than the dimension of the first limiting groove 1141 along the first direction, and the dimension of the end of the first thread-guiding portion 121 along the first direction is greater than the dimension of the second limiting groove 1151 along the first direction.

[0119] During use, the cable management component 12 needs to be switched frequently between the open and closed states. In the open state, the end of the first cable management section 121 is larger, which can prevent the cable management component 12 from sliding out of the first limiting groove 1141 or the second limiting groove 1151 as a whole.

[0120] It is understandable that after the cable management component 12 is assembled with the bracket 11, the end of the first cable management part 121 is close to the connecting seat 111, and the cable management component 12 is not easy to slip out from the first limiting groove 1141 or the second limiting groove 1151 when it is in the open state.

[0121] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the connector 111 includes a connector plate 1111 and a movable connector 1112; the movable connector 1112 is movably connected to the connector plate 1111 and connected to the mounting plate 222.

[0122] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 1111 is cuboid in shape and has length and width dimensions. The connecting plate 1111 can be connected to the mounting plate 222 at the end of the functional module 22. The length and width dimensions of the connecting plate 1111 are adapted to the length and width dimensions of the mounting plate 222. The width direction of the connecting plate 1111 is consistent with a first direction, and the length direction is consistent with a second direction.

[0123] The movable connector 1112 is movably connected to the connecting plate 1111. The number of movable connectors 1112 is set according to actual needs. For example, there are two movable connectors 1112, which are spaced apart along the length of the connecting plate 1111.

[0124] In some embodiments, the movable connector 1112 includes a screw. A first threaded hole is provided on the connecting plate 1111, and a second threaded hole is provided on the mounting plate 222 of the functional module 22. The screw is screwed into the first threaded hole on the connecting plate 1111. By aligning the first threaded hole on the connecting plate 1111 with the second threaded hole on the functional module 22, the screw is screwed into the second threaded hole, thus connecting the connecting seat 111 to the functional module 22. The screw is then unscrewed from the second threaded hole, separating the connecting seat 111 from the functional module 22. After the screw is unscrewed from the second threaded hole, the screw and the connecting plate 1111 remain connected. Since the screw and the connecting plate 1111 are an integral structural component, the loss of the screw can be prevented.

[0125] In some embodiments, the movable connector 1112 includes a captive screw, which can be connected to the connecting plate 1111 by a riveting process. The mounting plate 222 of the functional module 22 has a threaded hole. The captive screw includes a threaded portion, and by tightening the threaded portion, the captive screw can be connected to or separated from the threaded hole.

[0126] During the installation or disassembly of bracket 11, due to the small overall size of bracket 11, the size of the corresponding movable connector 1112 is also small. If the movable connector 1112 and the connecting plate 1111 are two separate parts, the operation is inconvenient during the installation or disassembly of bracket 11, and the movable connector 1112 is easily lost. Making the movable connector 1112 and the connecting plate 1111 an integral structural component not only avoids the loss of the movable connector 1112 but also facilitates the installation and disassembly of bracket 11.

[0127] Understandably, one, two or more cable management racks 10 can be installed on the server 20. The cable management racks 10 are connected to the functional module 22 via the movable connector 1112, which facilitates easy adjustment of the installation position of the cable management racks 10.

[0128] In the embodiments of this application, the movable connector 1112 is movably connected to the connecting plate 1111. The movable connector 1112 and the connecting plate 1111 are an integral structural component, which facilitates operation during the installation or disassembly of the bracket 11 and also prevents the movable connector 1112 from being lost.

[0129] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting plate 222 is provided with a fastener 221, and the fastener 221 has an internal thread. Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the connecting plate 1111 has a mounting hole 11111, and a third limiting part 11112 is provided inside the mounting hole 11111. The third limiting part 11112 has a through hole 11113. The movable connecting member 1112 includes a fixing part 11121 and a movable connecting part 11122 movably disposed within the fixing part 11121. The movable connecting part 11122 has an external thread. A portion of the fixing part 11121 passes through the through hole 11113 and connects to the third limiting part 11112. The movable connecting part 11122 can move along the extending direction of the through hole 11113. The movable connecting part 11122 and the fixing member 221 can be screwed together by internal and external threads.

[0130] like Figure 4 As shown, the functional module 22 includes a functional module body and a mounting part for fixing the functional module body. The mounting part is used to connect to the housing 21 of the server 20. The mounting part includes a mounting plate 222 located at the end of the functional module 22. The mounting plate 222 is provided with fasteners 221. The number of fasteners 221 is the same as the number of movable connectors 1112.

[0131] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, there are two movable connectors 1112 and two fixing members 221. The fixing member 221 includes studs, which can be fixed to the mounting plate 222 by riveting or welding. The studs have internal threads. The number of studs is set according to actual needs; for example, two studs are spaced apart on the mounting plate 222.

[0132] like Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the connecting plate 1111 has two mounting holes 11111, and a third limiting part 11112 is provided inside the mounting holes 11111. The third limiting part 11112 has a through hole 11113. The third limiting part 11112 is located in the center of the mounting holes 11111. The diameter of the mounting holes 11111 is slightly larger than the diameter of the fastener 221.

[0133] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the movable connector 1112 includes a fixing part 11121 and a movable connecting part 11122. The fixing part 11121 passes through the through hole 11113 and can be fixedly connected to the third limiting part 11112 by a riveting process. The movable connecting part 11122 is provided with external threads, and the movable connecting part 11122 can rotate and move along the extending direction of the through hole 11113.

[0134] In some embodiments, the movable connector 1112 includes a captive screw. The captive screw includes a sleeve and a threaded portion located within the sleeve.

[0135] It is understandable that the depth of the mounting hole 11111 on the side of the third limiting part 11112 facing the functional module 22 is adapted to the length of the stud. The assembly process of the connecting seat 111 and the functional module 22 is as follows.

[0136] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, first align the two captive screws with the two studs, then insert the two studs into the two mounting holes 11111 of the connecting plate 1111. Next, rotate the threaded portion of the captive screw; the threaded portion screws into the internal threads of the studs, thus achieving a screw connection between the captive screws and the studs. If disassembly is required, rotate the threaded portion; the threaded portion unscrews from the internal threads of the studs, after which the bracket 11 can be separated from the functional module 22.

[0137] The studs occupy little space, and their positions can be flexibly set on the mounting plate 222 of the functional module 22. During the fabrication of the server 20, two studs are pre-installed on each functional module 22. When the cable management frame 10 needs to be installed, the two captive screws on the bracket 11 are connected to the two studs one-to-one, allowing for flexible installation of the cable management frame 10. When the cable management frame 10 is not needed, the two studs do not occupy a large amount of space and will not interfere with other components in the server 20.

[0138] Each functional module 22 can be pre-installed with a fixing piece 221 that can be connected to the bracket 11. The installation position of the cable management rack 10 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation. The movable connector 1112 can be connected to the fixing piece 221 on any functional module 22.

[0139] In the embodiments of this application, the mounting hole 11111 serves as a preliminary positioning device. The movable connector 1112 includes a fixing part 11121 and a movable connecting part 11122. The fixing part 11121 is connected to the third limiting part 11112, so that the movable connector 1112 and the connecting plate 1111 form an integral structural component. The movable connecting part 11122 is connected to the fixing part 221 by screw connection, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the bracket 11. The fixing part 221 is pre-installed on the functional module 22 of the server 20. The fixing part 221 does not occupy a large space, and the installation position of the cable management rack 10 can be flexibly selected on multiple functional modules 22 of the server 20 according to the actual situation.

[0140] The following provides a detailed explanation of the assembly and use of the server module.

[0141] Along the height of server 20, multiple functional modules 22 are arranged in two layers, namely the upper layer and the lower layer. The multiple functional modules 22 are sequentially arranged along the width of server 20 on the upper layer and sequentially arranged along the width of server 20 on the lower layer. The functional modules 22 include pluggable modules that require plugging and unplugging for maintenance, such as hard disk modules and front control board modules.

[0142] In some embodiments, the functional module 22 located at the left end of the service area can be an expansion card module, and the cable management rack 10 can be installed on the expansion card module. On the right side of the expansion card module, there are three network card modules on the upper layer, and one front control board module and two hard disk modules on the lower layer.

[0143] In some embodiments, two studs are installed on the functional module 22, allowing the cable management rack 10 to be flexibly positioned according to the insertion location of the cable 30. The structure of the cable management rack 10 is as described above.

[0144] In some embodiments, the bracket 11 includes a connecting seat 111, two support portions 112 disposed on one side of the connecting seat 111, and a first limiting portion 114, a bearing portion 113, and a second limiting portion 115 located between the two support portions 112. One cable management component 12 is installed between the first limiting portion 114 and the bearing portion 113, and another cable management component 12 is installed between the second limiting portion 115 and the bearing portion 113. The connecting seat 111 includes a connecting plate 1111 and two captive screws disposed on the connecting plate 1111. The connecting seat 111 is screwed to two studs on the functional module 22 by the two captive screws.

[0145] In some embodiments, the first surface of the first limiting portion 114 is flush with the first support surface 1123 of the support portion 112, and the second surface 1142 of the second limiting portion 115 is flush with the second support surface 1124 of the support portion 112.

[0146] The cable management component 12 includes a first cable management section 121 and a second cable management section 122. The second cable management section 122 is connected to the first cable management section 121 by an adhesive bonding method, which facilitates the opening and closing operation of the cable management component 12. The first end 1211 of the first cable management section 121 is provided with a Velcro hook surface, and the second end 1221 of the second cable management section 122 is provided with a Velcro velvet surface. The first cable management section 121 and the second cable management section 122 are connected by bonding the Velcro hook surface and the Velcro velvet surface.

[0147] In some embodiments, the functional module 22 for connecting cables 30 is located on the upper layer of the server 20, while the functional module 22 requiring interpolation maintenance is located on the lower layer of the server 20. The upper-layer cable 30 passes through the cable management cavity 120 of the cable management component 12 above the bracket 11. The cable management component 12 and the first support surface 1123 of the support part 112 achieve stable fixation of the upper-layer cable 30. The cable 30 will not obstruct the lower-layer functional module 22, which is beneficial to the convenience of operation and maintenance of the lower-layer functional module 22.

[0148] The first support surface 1123 or the second support surface 1124 can support multiple cables 30 arranged side by side, preventing the cables 30 from intertwining. The first cable management part 121 and the second cable management part 122 are connected by adhesive bonding. The volume of the cable management cavity 120 is adjustable, and the volume of the ideal cavity can be flexibly adjusted according to the number of cables 30 to achieve a stable fixation of the cables 30.

[0149] Understandably, when the functional module 22 of the cable 30 is located on the lower layer of the server 20, the cable management component 12 under the bracket 11 can fix the lower layer cable 30 to prevent the cable 30 from falling off randomly.

[0150] The bracket 11 can be connected to the studs on the functional module 22 via captive screws. Each functional module 22 can be pre-installed with studs, allowing for flexible adjustment of the cable management rack 10's position on the server 20 based on the location of the cables 30. The bracket 11 connects to the studs on the functional module 22 via captive screws, and the position of the cable management rack 10 on the server 20 can be flexibly adjusted. Cables 30 located on the upper layer can be secured using the cable management components 12 above the bracket 11, while cables 30 located on the lower layer can be secured using the cable management components 12 below the bracket 11, facilitating easy plugging and unplugging and maintenance of the functional module 22.

[0151] The server module provided in this application is installed in a cabinet, which includes a cabinet body and has multiple receiving slots, in which the server module is located.

[0152] Multiple receiving slots are provided along the height of the cabinet, and multiple server modules are installed in the multiple receiving slots respectively. The server module includes a server 20 and a cable management rack 10, and each server 20 is equipped with at least one cable management rack 10. The cable management components 12 above the support part 112 can fix and support the upper layer of cables 30 of the server 20, and the cable management components 12 below the support part 112 can fix and support the lower layer of cables 30 of the server 20.

[0153] For each server 20, the upper-layer cable 30 will not obstruct the lower-layer functional module 22, which facilitates the plugging and unplugging maintenance of the lower-layer functional module 22; similarly, the lower-layer cable 30 will not obstruct the upper-layer functional module 22 of another server 20 below, which facilitates the plugging and unplugging maintenance of the upper-layer functional module 22 of that other server 20. With each server 20 equipped with at least one cable management rack 10, the operation and maintenance of multiple servers 20 is facilitated.

[0154] The embodiments of this application have been described above. However, these embodiments are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application. Although various embodiments have been described above, this does not mean that the measures in the various embodiments cannot be used advantageously in combination. Without departing from the scope of this application, those skilled in the art can make various substitutions and modifications, all of which should fall within the scope of this application.
